The electric brakes on this trailer have been inoperative/poorly working. The trailer was purchased 12/26/2026 and the problem was discovered within one week. The selling dealer states no warranty on brakes, the manufacturer, NationCraft confirms warranty 1/8/2026. The trailer has been attempted to be repaired on two different visits to very minor improvement. The brakes do not provide the proper force to slow the trailer when empty or loaded. The trailer is unable to be safely towed due to this defect. The manufacturer has been unresponsive in offering to repair this issue. I went as far as to contact the axle manufacturer, Terran, who is also unresponsive.

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
